I plan not to update the card full time and use GPS for VFR only - I am

It costs $$$$ just to be able to file /G... I's like to but I can't justify
it. I just don;t fly into that many places in bad weather where there isn't
am ILS. Just file /U


Why would it cost anything to file /G on a VFR flight plan filed with
FSS for purposes of S&R? There is no requirement for the GPS to be
current for VFR flight. If it's working, /G should be perfectly
appropriate in a VFR-only environment.
